Description
Walkmill Antiques is a three-storey building with a basement, featuring a one-window modern roughcast front that conceals a 17th-century structure, which was once connected to No 6. The building has a slate roof with a truncated right pitch, plain bargeboards, and a brick stack at the ridge. The right side displays rusticated quoins. On the first floor, there are four-pane sash windows with moulded architraves. The ground floor is boarded, with modern shop windows flanking a pedimented doorpiece supported by curved brackets, leading to a raised six-panel door. There is a boarded entrance to the basement on the right. The left side of the building, dating from the late 19th or early 20th century, is two-storey brick with three gables. The ground floor features sash windows under cambered heads, accented with yellow brick dressings, which are also present at the recessed door.
Inside, the building retains much of its exposed 17th-century timberwork, including two fireplaces with timber lintels and a 17th-century staircase.
